🥧 It's Pie Week 2021 🥧

This week, we're excited to welcome Lauren Ko to Salt + Spine, the podcast on stories behind cookbooks, for our Spring 2021 Pie Week!

You might be most likely to know Lauren from her now-famous Instagram handle: @lokokitchen. Lauren’s geometric designs and stunning pie creations have taken the Internet — and really, the world — by storm. And as you’ll hear in this episode, Lauren fell into pie-making and her signature style by chance. Before long, she had more than 400,000 Instagram followers and her work was being featured everywhere from Vogue and O Magazine to baking pies alongside Martha Stewart.

And now Lauren’s sharing her tips and tricks in her first cookbook, titled Pieometry: Modern Tart Art and Pie Design for the Eye and the Palate, with 50 recipes for both sweet and savory creations. Plus, of course, there are step-by-step guides to recreating the famous stunning designs, like her signature Spoke or the Wave. 

Lauren joined us remotely from her Seattle home for this week’s show.
